As soon as Lu Si Ran spoke, the bucktoothed man looked a little nervous. His face was red as he lowered his head and did not speak. However, the woman behind him seemed to be very calm. Aster smiled and said, "We are siblings. He is my brother!"
Lu Si Ran and I were both stunned for a moment before we both stretched out our heads and stared at the two of them. The two were about the same age, but regardless of appearance or character, the difference between them was quite large. Especially this buck toothed man who was shy and a bit stiff when he heard that they were getting married. It seemed that he was also an honest person. However, this little sister was different. She was clearly much more mature than her brother, and she was also more good-looking than her brother. Moreover, from the looks of it, she should be more shrewd. The two of us looked at each other embarrassedly. The bucktoothed man looked back at his sister and said, "Let's go. This place looks pretty good, but we can't live here for the time being. Otherwise, we'll come back in 5 or 7 years!"
The so-called 57 was a month, 575. Why did he say he would come after the 57? This was because it was said that seven days was the first cycle of reincarnation, in other words, the reincarnation would be arranged every seven days. If the reincarnation of a victim did not happen, then the victim would have to wait for the next reincarnation, and the maximum time limit for reincarnation was seventy-nine days, with fifty-seven being the most important midpoint. Therefore, in the common folk, if a person died, they would often burn the paper money continuously for forty-nine days. Of course, this was not because they had to continuously burn the paper money, otherwise, no one would be able to afford it. The purpose of burning paper money was to break open the joints, so that the ghost officials could find a better family to reincarnate into. However, once the 571 was over, the ghost officials would choose any one of them, regardless of whether it was good or bad. So this is how we often say "burn five or seven pieces of paper", the first seven days, not 17, but the first seven. So after the fifth or seventh reincarnation, generally speaking, the dead were already reincarnated. They had nothing to do with this reincarnation cycle, so it wouldn't cause any more trouble. He also didn't know if the bucktoothed man decided to come back a month later due to this consideration.
When I saw that the bucktoothed man was about to leave, I hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Then, I raised my hand to pinch him in front of his eyes and asked, "You were just messing around earlier, how did you figure out that something was going to happen?"
The bucktoothed man chuckled and was about to speak when his sister tugged at him and winked at him. The bucktoothed man didn't dare to say anything else. He turned around and followed his sister, but before he turned around, he carried his sister on his back and whispered to me, "You shouldn't stay here any longer. I suggest you head south!"
The bucktoothed man left, leaving me with a big question mark. Why can't I stay here for a long time, why should I head south? Then Lu Si Ran came over and asked him what he had just said. I said it was fine.
I treated the wound on Lu Si Ran's hand and then somehow got in touch with the landlord, telling him to take the money over. I also told them to burn the paper for the old man and give it to him, along with the certificates. For I do not know whether the old man could not afford the money, or the honor of his life, or both.
Sigh, even if you didn't bring something with you, you still had to bring it with you when you are about to die. It seems that not only are you greedy, you're also greedy!
The landlord took the money, but it's not clear if he did what I told him to do. Because he didn't seem to believe me. He kept glancing sideways at me and didn't say a word of thanks from beginning to end. I don't understand it, you've never been to the devil's business, so I don't believe you, that's understandable, and because I said it so professionally, you looked at me like I was some kind of swindler, so I put up with it, but we've worked so hard to get the money into your hands, and you should at least say thank you, after all, you don't have any grudge against the money.
When things were done, Lu Si Ran and I sat under a tree on the stairs to rest. I was so depressed that I didn't want to talk. Lu Si Ran kept on talking, but after a long time, he just said, "I'm so angry." After a long while, Lu Si Ran suddenly changed the topic and said, "The heaven is in the night, that old man is sitting at your place. The second time I looked at it, the old man was gone. Do you think that there's really something wrong with it, or am I hallucinating? "
"I'll say it again, ghosts and people are one and the same. Being able to see him is a pure coincidence, and the probability of this happening is very small. But sometimes people are even f * cking sick of it! "
Lu Si Ran laughed. "Forget it, I've already forgotten about it. Let's not talk about it anymore." "Tell me what you did for the past few days. Why does it feel like it only took a few days for you to know so much?"
I thought to myself that I didn't know so much all at once, but that I had always known, partly from books and partly from life. I was about to say something when the phone rang.
Lu Si Ran pushed me. "Why aren't you answering the phone?" When I woke up, it turned out that the cell phone I had just bought had changed its ringtone. Furthermore, my cell phone had been in a convulsive state for some time, almost forgetting that I still had a cell phone on me.
I took it out and saw that it was indeed my cell phone ringing. The screen showed that the glass had called. I couldn't help but become excited as I shouted at Lu Si Ran, "Look, my phone is alive! My phone is alive!" Just as he was about to answer the phone, the glass wall closed.
"What are you doing?" I mumbled and called.
"I can use my cellphone now!" I couldn't help but shout as soon as the call connected. I thought to myself that although this phone was a knock-off phone, it had cost me five hundred yuan (I was too embarrassed to pay for it on behalf of Sister Yun). I didn't have much money on me, so I was given a thousand yuan first, then two hundred yuan in glass. Thinking of this, my heart thumped. Damn, I forgot to go to work! I wonder how is the situation with the Cold Exemplary.
"Are you crazy!?" "Is a broken cell phone worth you being so happy over?"
"You are a full man, yet you don't know how hungry and how much your waist hurts when you stand and speak …"
"Stop bullshitting, I saw your grandpa, come over quickly!"
"F * ck your grandpa. I'm the only one in this city, what kind of grandpa is there?"
"No!" The glass window became anxious, "That person is the same as you, he has an eye open on his forehead, it's very similar to yours. Come over quickly, I'll keep an eye out for you!"
When I heard this, I hastily ran towards the entrance of the district, and Lu Si Ran followed closely behind me, constantly shouting, "What happened?"
I said go home first, don't come with me, I'll be back in a bit. Given the long eyes on his forehead, he is definitely out of the ordinary. In the worst case scenario, it might even be possible for him to be the previous judge.
Then I stopped a taxi and drove east along Huai Road. The place the glass provided for me was east of Xuanwu Market, on the banks of the Yellow River Old Road. I've been to this place before. The Xuanwu Market is a wholesale market, large in size, especially large in and out of goods, covering almost all areas of daily life. The people who went in and out of the building every day could be described as "overcrowded", but before, it was chaotic and the security was extremely poor. It was said that the building had been reorganized and the building had been put into use.
I stopped at the east gate of the market. There were still a lot of people, and the environment had changed a lot. As for what was inside, I couldn't go in because I had something to do.
In front of the east gate, there was a road leading north and south. On both sides of the road were tall French parasol trees. On the other side was a river that ran along the road, which was the Yellow River's old road. It was about ten meters away from the road, and all the trees were planted there.
Glass said that the person he saw was on the banks of the Yellow River. He said it so quickly that I didn't hear him clearly, as if he was telling the fates of someone else.
I walked across the street and looked. My heart skipped a beat. Dammit, at a glance, there were at least a dozen stalls here, but there was no sign of the glass. Could it be that the person had left?
I followed the river from the south and headed north. The people who looked at my palm, the people who looked at my face, the people who looked at my name, the people who drew lots, they all wore the guise of Zhou Yi. These masters were all of the highest quality. There were both tall and short, fat and thin, and there were even some who wore shoe laps and large pants.
Sigh, I shook my head and couldn't help but sigh. Coming out to trick others would at least cost you something to do. As soon as I passed, they all shouted, "Come on, boy, let's figure it out!" Especially when they reached the northernmost area, where the stall was occupied by a fat woman in her forties. There was a piece of white paper lying on the floor with the words' Zhou Yi named, Divination 'written crookedly on it.
When the fat woman saw me coming over, she raised her head and smiled at me. "Aiyo, aiyo, little brother, come over here. I'll point out a path for you!"
I tilted my head to look at that piece of paper. I always felt that it was extremely awkward. Thus, I walked over and whispered, "Big Sis, your 'divination' and 'divination' are just a bit lower."
The fat woman was stunned for a moment, then she stretched out her neck and whispered, "Which one?"
I turned around and left, thinking to myself, you don't even know how to read, and you still want to test your ass and give me some directions? If it wasn't for me having matters to attend to right now, I could have squeezed you to death! I wonder which great deity she found to write those words to, or did she go out and take the wrong signboard?
I was about to head back the way I had come when I saw Glass hiding behind a tree in the distance, waving at me. I hastily walked over and asked, "Why are you sneaking around? Do you think this tree can stop you?"
The glass pointed to the south and said, "Look at that person in the daoist robe."
I followed his hand and saw a man in a robe sitting under a tree by the river. He was about fifty years old, with a straight face and a dark blue crown on his head. It was obvious that he was dressed as a Taoist (he wasn't wearing the big yellow robe we used to see on TV, with an octopus drawn in the middle). He was sitting on a stone bench with his eyes closed. His stall was even simpler, and probably the simplest, because there was nothing. I thought to myself that the fat woman at least had a piece of paper, and even though the words were wrong, you were being stingy.
